Perfect apartment in a perfect location

5 of 5
Submitted: May 11, 2013 Stayed: May 2013
I arrived on the 10th, with 3 friends traveling from Honolulu. We were warmly greeted by Simona in her fantastic rental and were fortunately she was able to accommodate us for an early check in. The apartment couldn't be in a better location in Florence. We contacted her several months ago with many questions regarding the location and apartment. She was always quick to respond and very forthcoming with information. For this reason, I decided to rent this apartment. We can't be happier with the apartment. It's renovated to a high standard, very clean and so comfortable. WiFi works great as we have 4 iphones and 2 ipads connected. The apartment is more spacious than I expected. Overall, I would definitely return to this apartment and Simona has made it such a great experience.

A great choice

5 of 5
Submitted: April 12, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We had been to Florence before, but we stayed in bed and breakfasts or hotels. Tis time we wanted an apartment since we had a party of four. My wife found the Francesco apartment and we are very happy with the result.
The apartment is 2 very nice sized bedrooms with nice bathrooms. Clean and orderly and comfortable. While the kitchen is small, it was perfect for morning tea and breakfast. The location is very convenient, only a block away from all the action in paizza Della signoria, but close enough to drop in for some peace and quiet and get away from the crowds. The site is on a very quiet street.
Simona was prompt and friendly and everything was in order. We are very glad we choose this apartment and would definitely choose again when we return.

Stop Looking and BOOK

5 of 5
Submitted: January 27, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
There are not enough superlatives to describe this apartment, Simona the owner/manager, and the experience you will have staying here. Stop looking and book before someone else steals your dates. The apartment is very well equipped, with modern decor and conveniences, but retains old world charm and character. The location is excellent, and Simona is just a delight to deal with. I couldn't recommend this rental highly enough and will be the first place I would look stay on our next visit to Florence.

Charming apartment

5 of 5
Submitted: January 10, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
Apartment pictures on the website 100% accurate and reflect the charm and cosyness of the place. It's very well equiped, all you can imagine is there including dishwashing mashine, TV, conditioning, washing mashine, hair dryer, etc. The fact we had WiFi available and included in the rent was very much appreciate by my 14 years old son. The apartment is on the second floor, in the very center of Florence, 1 minute walk from Uffitzi, you can see Palace Veccio tower from the terrace. We arrived long after midnight due to flight delay, Simona was waiting for us and made sure to give us all information about appartment and surroundings, as well as recommendations for the restaurants nearby.
Simona, thanks a lot for your hospitality. Was pleasure meeting you. Will definitely be back and bring friends with us.
Owner's Response: Thank so much for your kind appreciations, It was a great pleasure to host you and really hope to see you again!
